    It may be painful to do, but enable the FPS limiter and you'll likely see a reduction in stress. My 760 goes wild if I keep the limiter off.

    What? Is that an in-game graphical setting or something I do in the graphics card controls?

    Edit: I found it in the Display Settings but I'm not sure what option does what tbh. 1/1? 1/2? 1/4?

    They're the fractions of your refresh rate.
    So if you use a 60htz monitor, 1/1 would be 60FPS, while 1/2 would be 30FPS, and 1/4 would be 15FPS.
    Since one of the 2.55 updates, it's never been able to calculate my monitors refresh rate (it's 30) so they all say 0FPS for me, lol. But you can enable each one and see the FPS at the top of the display settings window change.

    Ah. Yeah it says 0FPS on mine as well. I went with 1/1 but don't really notice a difference and my card seems to behave the same as not having the limit on. I might just deal with it, tbh it's not too bad to just alt-tab to cool my card off. Far from ideal, but oh well.

    Be extremely careful. If the card is reaching high temps, it could damage the card.
